PRICE OF S'i*OCKS THIS DAY AT TWALVIL O'CLOCK. Consols IHE SUN. sinsm QUIS DICERS TALSUM AUDEAT? L 0 N D 0 N. MONDOr, MARCH 26, 1810. We rcct'iveA Dutch Papers to the 22d inst. and f ;1r Gottenlurgh Mails this day, the contents of which we have inserted in ow- subsequent columns. - The Dispatches from Mr. PINCKNEY to the Ame rican Government were, we understand, sent from toWn on Saturday last to the American frigate John ilflams, Tying at Cowes., They were taken by Lieu te.ant ELLIOT cL that ship, which was expected to sail ye.ster4ay. for -Havre-de-Grace, as Mr. ELLIOT was to proceed to Paris, in order to obtain the Dis- Tiatche:3 from General ARMSTRONG. is, however, by :r0 means improbable that General A unsT4or.4 will,dernand passports, and return himself to Ame rica in the John Adams, as the French Government has recently adopted measures so hostile to the Ame r:caw Government that it . would lose all respect in the eyes of mankind if it were to. submit to (bear Private .letters from Paris, harked, dated the t Bih init. state, that General ARMSTRONG had actually demanded passports, as the Ftench Government had issued an order for the seizure and sale of American vec>sels and property. Intelligence of the same na ture,' it is said, has • been received by Mr. PINCK NEY and by our Ministers. The conduct of-8u04,4- ratrs towards America has been so strange, capri ciJas, and impolitic, that such an order might na (wally' be expected from him; and if so, we trust that it will dispose the American Government to be more sensible of the wisdom of being upon good terms with the only Power that can guard their corn tut:Till 'mesas, and enable them to support their- independence. The Opposition writers are, day after day, resort ing to their old expedient, and attempting to amuse their readers with accounts of new arrangements in Administration. ' According to their last state ment on this subjeta, Lord WELLESLEY iS IO be First Lord of the Treasury; Mr. PERCEVA L to be Chancellor, instead of Lord ELDON, who retires; Lord iVI,BLviLt.g, First Lord of the Admiralty; and Mr. CANNING, Secretary of State. To shetv their inizenuity, however, these Writers are not content t.ith having made the foregoing arrangement, for ti)ey have devised another plan, importing that Lord Lord SIDNIOUTH'S pafty is. to come 'into office, with 'the adui ion of Lord CASTLEREAGH. The Writers, inecd acknowledge; that the iatter scheme has a powerful obstacle in its way; for, that Lord WEI, ESLEY objecls to the introduction of Lord CASTLE.. It EA 'OH, upon the ground that.it t; otald tend to throw Mr CANNING into the arms of Opposition. By the .ist scheme Lord CASTLEREAGII was to be First Lord of the Admiralty. It is needless for us to make conun6nts upon reports so •contradi&&ory in themselves, though issuing from the same quarter, •It is quite surprising that as these Writers are so much in the habit of forming new, Administrations, they do not arrive at something like consistency. Hut they are at least to be commended for having attained a littletmore discretion, as They have not in a:ly of their new arrangements had the hardihood to assert that their own Patrons cre likely to be again in power. Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, Princesses Au ,,nsTA and SOPHIA, accompaniel by Lady MYNNE, L __l: _ General CARTWRIGHT, and Major PRICE, rode to St. George's Chapel, Windsor, .and` heard a Serunon preached by the Rev. Mr. CHAIVPIGNY j they after wards returned to the Palace. The regretted illness of the Princess Am ELIA is' said to arise from an internal abscess, but the Physicians still.entertain hopes of etfeding a ,cure, if her Royal Highness's constitution is not already too weak for the powerful medicines 'which it is neces sary to administer. • The debate on ,the Scheldt Expedition commences this day, and is er.;pe6ted not to terminate before Wed nesday or Thursday. Lord PORCHESTER opens the business, and, we understand, will be replied to by Lord CASTLEREAGH. We shall be careful to give copious and faithful reports of . -all the principal speeches on this important subject. Two ships have arrived from Norway. The pas sengers describe the situatidn of the inhabitants of that inhospitable region, as most deplorable from the.scarcity of the or.dinary means of subsistence. From Riga, under the date of the 17th ultimo, we learn that trade had .ao . ain acquired considerable adivity. Hemp was sold at .22 dollars, and the prices of other Baltic commodities had not clined, though prices of colonial produce remained the same, necrt:ciation for an exchange - of prisoners be tween thus country and France, is at present pen& ing ; and an agent for conducting the • same will shortly leave this country for a French . port. A considerable fleet is immediately to assemble at Yarmouth, supposed to be destined for some enter prize of magnitude in the Bal!ic.• The Formidable, which is to bear the flag of the Commander in Chief, with the Scipion and I'anguard, on Thursday sailed ,from Plymouth for the place of rendezvous. A vessel arrived on' Saturday .from Guernsey, wh!ch brought seveial letters- from the coast of France, dated as late as the 17th inst. They refer only to commercial matters, but their contents'are so far satisfactory, as they shew a, disposition in the - French Government in some essential articles of trade to facilitate the intercourse with this country. Two ships laden with maSsy plate of silver, con-_ sisting principally of images and'church decorations, are arrived in the River,.from Lisbon, estimated at the value of a million sterling. The w hole has been sacrilegiously cut - i❑ pieces, to avoid the heavy im 7 . port duty, by being entered as ordinary.bullion. Hyde Park yesterday, notwithstanding the pierc ing coldness of a strong easterly wind, presented a crowded exhibition of beauty and fashion about three o'clock. Mrs. CLARKE was yesterdny surrounded by a mob in Bond -street, and .treated with some rude. ile;i3 . until she was rescued by several Gentlemen. The diamond which ornaments the hilt of BOON.. APARTE'S sword is worth 12 millions of francs, which is three times the value of the celebrated Or- Jeans diamond: . The vane of the jewels and nuptial ornaments which NA PoLcoN has de;litcd for his brides are es timated at t 8 millions of francs. . • Anew 74-gun ship, cared the Armada, was on Thursday launched at Mr. BLACBKBURN'§ yard, at Plvrnouth. Alihter BETTY ) the young RosciuS, is sedulously employed in the cultivation of his genius at Cam laiidge ; his preceptor is the sauje Getitlernan who superintended-the studies'of the present Marquis Of LANsoowNE. lu height he now 'e . siceds five feet Last week an Inquest NirdS held near Worcester, on the body of the son of Mr. , Harris, attorney of that . city. It appeared that the boy being on his way to school, after a visit to his ,parents, told the woman whb accompanied him that he would not go to school. She entreated him tp . retarp ; but this he refused to do ; and "whttn they arrived at a place called the Ketch, he said, " good bye," and rushing down the steep, plunged into the Severn and was drowned.—The Coroner's Jury found in their vet diet that the - deceased being under the age of discre tion (twelve years old) and' not knowing good from eti if, did, iri the passion of. either grief or .discontent, cast himself into the Severn, and thereby caused his death. A fire broke out yesterday . about i 2 o'clock, in the dwelling-house of a boot and shoemaker, in Ogle-court, Qtieen Ann-street East. There was no alarm of fire given until the flames were per ceived to have burst forth out of one of the win dows: Fortunately it was• got under in the space of an hour, but not before the premises were nearly gutted. The family, and some lodgers (mechanics) it was'supposed had fled on the first alarm of the fire, excepeone unfortunate young man; who, from indisposition, was confined to his bed, The fire-. men found him nearly dead, and in great torture, from the injury he bad sustained by the-fire. He expired in the arms' of•tWo men who supported him, as they were cvrying him to the Middlesex Hospital, The following distressitT ‘ circumstance recently took place at Halam, nem- Nottingham :—Mr. Flewitt, a Gentltnan in the .prime .of life, and in the possession of a handsome independence, in a paroxysm of mental derangement, put a period to his existence in a manner which heightens the hor ror such an event is calculated to excite. He had been engaged in a legal dispute, which was on the point of being tried, and this c;rcurnstanee seemed to take an unaccountable hold of his spirits. On the morning when he committed the fatal act- allud ed to, lie awoke under the impulse of terror, ex claiming, " they will take me they :will take me !" He •sprung up from the.side of his astonished wife, and instantly . wounded himself in the belly with a sword. • Mrs. Flewitt, acquiring stret•gth from des peration, wrested the sword Iron his hands, in doing which she was herself severely cut. She then flew to the dressing-table, and swept - off the razors. Thinking she had secured them all, she proceeded to the -staircase, shrieking for the servants, to comet() her assistance. On turning round, she 'beheld her buSband fall, with his head almost se►ered from his body. One razor, in her - ht;rry, tad been left, and with this the maniac completed own de struction. Early on Friday morning, about two o'clock, the house No. 2, Shepherd -street, Hanover-square, was feloniously . entered by means of a falie key, and the apat tments occupied by Major Higgins robbed of a poi containing several articles of value, wear ing apprel, and other articles, to a considerable anpunt.

THE PITT CLUB.--Tlie third •11rieetiing,- of this Society, for the present season, took place on Thurs day last, at the London TaVern.
